For (A)the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only (B)he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. And then that lawless one (C)will be revealed—whom the Lord [a]Jesus (D)will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the (E)appearance of His [b]coming— whose [c]coming is in accord with the working of (F)Satan, with all power and [d](G)signs and false wonders, 10 and with [e]all the deception of unrighteousness for (H)those who perish, because they did not receive the love of (I)the truth so as to be saved. 11 And for this reason (J)God sends upon them a [f](K)deluding influence so that they will believe [g]what is false, 12 in order that they all may be [h]judged who (L)did not believe the truth, but [i](M)took pleasure in unrighteousness.
